From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Hypocrite       one who puts on a mask and feigns himself to be what he is not;       a dissembler in religion. Our Lord severely rebuked the scribes       and Pharisees for their hypocrisy (Matt. 6:2, 5, 16). "The       hypocrite's hope shall perish" (Job 8:13). The Hebrew word here       rendered "hypocrite" rather means the "godless" or "profane," as       it is rendered in Jer. 23:11, i.e., polluted with crimes.
